Giring the Pug a Character.

/ want to say with double-barreled en-
phasis that the pug is canine idiot. He
is of ignoble ancestry and is admitted to
parlors nowadays when his great-great-
grandfather was forced to gnaw n bone
in Il quiet corner in the kitchen. The
pug is the product Of what is known as
"in-breeding," or in plain English, the
offspring of parents closely related.
Originally he came from the English
turnspit and the bulldog, which accounts
for his fiat nozzle and bow legs. His fe-
rocious aspect bellies his character alto
gether. | do not think the pug would
bite anything but his daily supply OF
bread and milk and caromels. He is a
pampered imposter The pug-taking
the average runs not capable Of learn
ing the most ordinary tricks. His brain
power is limited, and you have probably
noticed that, as rule, he hasn't sense
enough to get in out Of the rain. His in
stinct is about as kinky as his tail, and
he is degeneratiDg more and more every
day.

The Staunton Spectator, one Of Virgin
las institutions venerable in years aud
worthy of veneration, last week taking
retrospect Of the old newspapers that have
survived the vicissitudes Of cyentful times,
says:
Writing without the aid Of reference TO
help the memory, the old newspapers Of the
present day which existed when the old po-
litical parties assumed definite shape rs
Democratic and Whig, under The leadership
respectively of Jackson and Clay,-ior the
rank and file of both parties had been sup
poriers Of the administrations Of Madison
and Monroe,-aro the Alexandria Gasetc,
the Lynchburg VirgiaiaH, the Charlcstown
Free Pres, the Rockingham Regis'er, the
Staunton Spectator, and the Richmond
Wig and, we think, they are called in the
order of their respective ages. With the
exception of the Gazette and the Free Ifcw,
which are still owned in the family name
of their founders. the Spectator has lived
under the lewest changes Of proprietorship.'
The Spectator has entered upon its 6ith
year. Nothing decrepit about IL, and may
it live TO be a hundred and then be buoy
ant and fresh as now.

Mistletoe is well grown at Streatham
Lodge, in Surrey, one pyramid apple tree
in particular, some seven feet high and
six feet through, being dense mass of ii
from top to bottom and laden with ber-
ries. The apple tree thus smothered by
the parasite does not bear any fruit, but
this loss is compensated for by the orna-
mental character of the mistletoe. Those
who wish to introduce mistletoe into
their gardens should devote an apple tree
specially to it. The berries from which
it is to be grown should be gathered in
March or April-not earlier, or success
may be doubtful-earlier in the season
the berries are not ripe. The branches
on which they are to be placed should be
from three to four years old. Selecting
clear bit Of bark on the upper side OF
the branch, rub the berries on it. Black
birds and thrushers are very partial to
them; therefore trees thus operated on
should be netted. After lapse of some
three months the seeds will be seen to
have thrown out sucker-like claws, when
all danger from birds will be at an end,
and the young plants will after that rap
idly increase in size. Young apple trees
with mistletoe established OH them may
also be bought in some nurseries.

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Incorporation OF the LorboFn Publish
ing Company, icih a Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Capital.

From The Baltimore ".inerican," Dec 22ad, 1856.
1t is an old saying that once a journalist
always one, there being traditional iasci-
nation about newspaper work which holds
its sway no matter TO what line of labor
circumstances may lead. The railroad ox-
perience of Major J. g. Pangborn was such
as to bring him in constant contact with
newspaper offices, and his association with
newspaper men was of so general charac-
ter that il was next to being back IN bis old
profession. That this would eventually fol-
low has frequently been predicted and if
not fully realized in his new field of opera
ton at the head of the Lorborn Publishing
Company it is very close to it. The incor-
poration of the enterprise as indicated with
a full paid up capital of 100000 was ef-
fected yesterday, and the uuQualfedly high
standing of the incorporators is certainly
most convincing evidence of its stability
and permanency. They are Frank Brown,
the millionaire Postmaster Of this city;
Christian Devries, President National Bank
Of Baltimore; Ernest Hoen, head of the
widely-known lithographing establishment
Of A. Hoen & Co.; Wm. c. Marburg of
the great tobocco manufacturing house of
Marburg Bros; Owen \. Gill Of Martin
Gillet x Co., the Oldest and largest Tea inn
porting firm in this section of country
Charles f. Siekels so long the chief Of the
Art Department Of the American Bank
Note Co., Of New York; Charles X. Lord,
the popular General Passenger Agent Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
latter is the President of the new Company,
with II. 5. Dulaney as Secretary and Treas
urer, and Major Pangborn as General Man
ager.

DREIMS.

Nay Let them dream their dream of perfect
love;
1t is the sweetest feeling, the most fair,
This fiower-like joy that blooms in the soft air
Of Youths bright heart, with Hopes blue
heaven above.
Breathe naught of disenchantment do not
bring
Misgiving to the bliss of blended souls,
The whole Life's brimming river golden rolls
Through primrose-lighted uplands of the
spring.
The-blossoms of Eternity lie furled
In the dim kindling buds of dreams that keep
A iluttering pulse within Times broken sleep ;
Dreams are not idle; dreams have saved the
world.
And therefore, to the many heights afar
Our lowland eyes that yearn and dream we
lift,
And to the isle-like mists that round them
drift,
And to the moon and to the morning star.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
John Thomas, a Contractor. Arrested
Yesterday.

d. Nj. McCannon appeared before
Judge Fisher Yesterday forenoon, and
made a complaint against John Thomas,
a late contractor on the Cheyenne &
Northern charging him with the crime
of forgery. A warrant was issued and
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Smalley, who later in the day arrested
Thomas and brought him before Judge
Fisher, before whom the preliminary ex-
animation was postponed until 10 o'clock
this morning, the defendant in the mean
time remaining in custody.
The facts Of the case as related by the
prosecuting witness, are that some two
weeks ago Thomas drew an order on
Teschemacher e. deBillier, whose ranch is
up m the Laramie river, for two tons of
hay and signed the prosecuting witness
name to the same. This order he sent by
his men to the ranch aforesaid where the
hay was obtained, two tons worth 800 per
ton.
After his arrest yesterday Thomas ad-
mitted that he drew the order and signed
1t, but claimed he was authorized to do so,
and furthermore stated that he had since
paid for the hay. 1t is probable that the
investigation to day will throw some ad-
ditional light upon the case.
